My memories go back over forty years ago to Mattapan and Dorchester when Bruce and Leila and I played as kids, then teenagers and eventual grown ups. I was still Richie to Rose when we met last a few years ago at a happy occsion and she had nice memories of Bruce and I hanging around together. Its great when thoses happy moments come back clear and quickly. I am glad she had this happy memory with us.
